We have a 'no living people' policy here, although I can see that this very old topic does have possibly living people in it.

If chatters can offer help, please use the personal message system to exchange information, but Christina needs to make a couple more posts before she can access the system.

Hi brickrabbit, welcome to RootsChat

We're not supposed to talk about folk who may still be alive.

Frank EPTON married Alice M COLLINS in 1929.

Marriages Dec 1929
COLLINS    Alice M    (Epton)    Louth    7a   1563   
EPTON    Frank    (Collins)    Louth    7a   1563

She died in 1943 ... I can't explain two registrations unless the writing was (very!) unclear -
Deaths Mar 1943
EPTON    Alice M    84    Louth    7a   746   
EPTON    Alice M    33    Louth    7a   746

Frank may have remarried in 1955.  You can search here http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Hello all! I just stumbled across this topic. I have a line of Epton/Ebdon in my tree, however, they hail from county Durham as well as Suffolk. If you are interested in them, I will be pleased to share. I have never found any of them in Lincolnshire!  Sincerely, patrexjax
